A page-turning, emotionally suspenseful family drama which explores the damaging power of secrets, and a mother's fear for her children. For fans of Susan Lewis, Kerry Fisher and Linda Green.
Seven notes... Seven days... a lifetime of secrets revealed.
Former primary school teacher Holly Mayhew often used a Worry Box in the classroom to encourage her pupils to share their anxieties. Now, with her marriage buckling under the pressure of a new baby, it's her own daughter she needs to coax into opening up. Seven-year-old Marley is hiding something. Holly knows it; she just doesn't know what it is.
After seven days and six notes, Holly is still none the wiser - until Marley writes one final shocking message that cracks open a family secret buried so deep in the past, it has faded to little more than a whisper in the back of Holly's mind. Until now.
As her seemingly idyllic, peaceful seaside life is torn apart, Holly knows the only way she can piece it - and her family - back together is to finally confront the devastating betrayal that blighted her own childhood. She wanted her daughter to tell; now she has to do the same.
